Why Are GAMERS ANGRY With Tekken 8? 

I dont mind the battlepass, games are expensive, yes I however agree with you in the first point, they are pumping micro first and not fixing the main stuff. I dont mind Micro but they should fix things first then add micro.

They'd sell more games if they just made games good. Helldivers 2 is the proof.

Believe me the best Tekken game ever is 5 after that it's just downfall

@@fryrob2019 false. Gaming has become more expensive, but they also get bigger budgets. I did QA work in the industry and I know at the financial reports. Genshin impact didnt do as well as they hoped so new Execs forced them to add Fortnite MTX to make up the losses. Mind you Harada nor any of the devs pay was affected. Its the execs, shareholders, and to be honest since this is a japanese company, probably even some yakuza pay offs. This is why I along with many people left the gaming industry back in 2011 cause the writing was on the wall then. As a former QA i tell all gamers. Never support MTX, esp stuff that was free in Tekken 7 already. Buy from key sites, and watch streamers day 1. Its a shame thats what we have to do, but when outsiders influence how games are made we need to make our voices heard.

So it's the same issue MK1 had? The main focus was the shop and game play didn't even get the back seat, it got put in the trunk

Can you say Street Fighter vs Tekken ps3? Welcome welcome to gen 7 controversial games.

back in the day tekken tag tournament 2 ps3 if you wanted to unlock all the charachters you just have to log in on psn and that was it now almost every game you need to pay for something instead of playing the game again on hard mode to unlock it these days pay now or else suck it

If they had to price the ult edition with MTX it would probably be $600-700 lmao

You just got a mixup, u thought that they were going to give you all but they dont

This makes me hate the game. I bought Ultimate Edition too and was surprised that I only got access with new characters like Eddy but the battle pass is not included. In SF6 if you bought the deluxe edition you will have access with season 1 and battles pass.

Yeah what would a true ultimate version for GTA V cost? $10 000? Halo Infinite? $3000? The true cost of games isn’t $70 anymore. It’s $70 plus as much as you want to spend

Anybody who buys the ultimate edition for any game at release is just an idiot

Christie and lucky Chloe are my main

nope

The insult makes it that much worse with content from the past they now wanna price tag for some reason

​@@JoEs_Do9ok w@nker

​@@omarmks6670then don't buy it. stop being a victim.

Tekken Beight

Tekken 8: Jack n Go ;)

Ironic, as it isn't on Switch. lol

wait! D L C characters don't get character episodes!

@@77wolfblade Nope

Or a new stage

Same happened in Tekken 7 dlc characters as well nobody had an arcade ending it was frustrating even if it was just still images that’s better than no ending

@@77wolfblade i think they said they will add additional story for all 4 characters after they are out, which plays out at the same time as the main story. not sure about character endings though.

You can change it to only except fights within 2 ranks of you. You can’t change in quick match

@@ib5995 Yes I know I can change it to 2 but I'm talking about changing it to one 1

Team ninja delivers lots of full package high effort games that are like 40-60 hours long like Nioh and no one gives them credit for it. Nioh, Wo long, Ronin all have tons of unique styles and or weapons that come base game but no one ever acknowledges it.

Gonna be honest here: graphics are really appealing for players and if a game looks horrible and has a ubisoft open world it will go underappreciated. And it launched the same day dragons dogma 2 did

Interesting because all i see is praise for ghost of tsushimas ubisoft open world, what im saying is you are dead wrong and just echoing nonsense from echochamber What even is the "ubisoft openworld" i will show you games in your library with exactly that lol Ronin is good- period.

@@NickJoeBeg👏👏👏 Well said. The world is full of whiney crybabies now. *clears throat* excuse me … a bunch of lying whiney crybabies.

​@@TheFivegoodemperors they are simple grindy games though. With PS3 graphics. Still fun tho

It doesn't matter they will buy the crap anyway

Same people who pay for of.

Yes, that's why a high percentage of gamers are going back to previous gens

G t a is one of the few successful games that still manages to pump out tons of free content to keep the game fresh

Yep fuck Harada and MM both shit the bed. Never buying this trash game. Just gonna play Sparkling Zero.

That's because Tekken doesn't have a competitor. It's literally a game in its' own genre right now. Yeah, I'm not gonna go play some 2d oneme fighter where I can't even strafe. We need Starcraft 2 in fighting games tbh: a competitive game created by passionate people about the game and then sustained for years and in the end balanced *by the community* , exactly like Starcraft 2 is right now: the game is balanced by the best professionals and big streamers(that are also top grandmasters of the game).

@@KulaGGin "Tekken doesn't have a competitor" That's not true? There is Dead or Alive where T7 have literally copied the heat engage, altrough for the next couple of years this might be the case since the previous project got cancelled.. Similarly there is Soul Calibur (from the same devs), Virtua Fighter with the upcoming 6 chapter and all the 2d games around, kinda hard to miss those..(Not sure why your fanatism would make you blind)

@@UnlimitedGameZone1 _"There is Dead or Alive where T7 have literally copied the heat engage"_ But Dead or Alive isn't a real fighting game? It's a coomer microtransaction game? Like, for real, just look at it. But if they copied the heat engage, I see, I didn't know. _"Similarly there is Soul Calibur (from the same devs)"_ It's dead. The series is dead and I think they confirmed it was pretty much the last game in the series and they started adding sword characters to Tekken instead. _"Virtua Fighter with the upcoming 6 chapter and all the 2d games around, kinda hard to miss those..(Not sure why your fanatism would make you blind)"_ Virtua fighter isn't on PC, and PC is the main platform. 2D games is not the same genre tbh. It's like comparing Animal Royale: a 2D game with top down view that has battle royale mode to PUBG, it's not the same genre of games. I don't have a fanatism for Tekken tbh. Give me a good balanced 3D fighting game with good movement that I can play and I'll switch today. In fact, I don't like Tekken 8 so much that I'm probably going to switch anyway to a better game. Starcraft 2 looking good: good balanced competitive game where scrubby teammates can't bring you down, that's what I like.

For me too. Im a Fan since Tekken 1 whom i was about 10 years old. I played every major game since then. Tekken 6 was godly. For 7 i had a bit of a pause cause i dont pay for dlc in general and wait for complete editions. Thats the Version i got there and it was okay cause it has all content in there. But Tekken 8 is a complete mess. Dont know if i will go any further than this right now 😢

It's called plugging probably due to the roots of the term dating back to unplugging your controller during a set to signal that you've conceded defeat and it just carried over into online matchmaking when people alt+f4 or force close the game on a console

also them attacking modders. Several modders had their youtube channels attacked and one prolific modder is going to have his channel removed. Now to be fair a lot of the mods were lewd (see FF XIV drama about modding to get a better idea) but some were legacy costumes. The thing is some of these modders stream and u see the level of dedication they have for the game. Gamers take my advice, don't believe any game company. Cause someone like Harada has no damn clue what his legal department is doing. And if u come at them they will just block you. Best way is with your wallets.

Believe it’s slang for pulling the plug on your Ethernet cable, used to be players would do that so if they were threatened with bans they could try and say they didn’t quit it was their internet connection dropping. Why they always say it’s good to report people cause there are legitimately some people with bad connections/speeds in 2024. But if they get tons of reports it’s harder for them to refute that.

@@DrClownPhD _"It's called plugging probably due to the roots of the term dating back to unplugging your controller"_ No, it's called plugging because you unplug the ethernet cable from the jack and unplug from the internet. That's how you would do it back when Tekken was only on consoles.

@@vash254 _"Best way is with your wallets"_ That's not the best way and barely ever works. For a good example how voting with the wallets doesn't work, look into 20th century gasoline lead drama and just capitalism in general. Watch some vids on the economics and see economists show you how it doesn't work. You know what really works? Regulations. That's how you make the capitalists afraid, by changing the laws. That's exactly what happened in the gasoline lead scandal and in the case with 21st century with companies taking all our data.

So true

5 min of the demo was enough t8 for my lifetime.

Yep 50/50 game for noobs and rеtаrds with +5 and +7 on hit tracking lows from which you frame trap with launchers that often also track and safe on block.

You know Heihachi is dead, right?

Yeah - microtransactions don't affect singleplayer at all, and the game offers decent amount of SP content. Though again, the meat of the game is in MP modes, so you may want to branch out eventually.

Demo version is pretty fun vs the ghost but it feels incomplete in the demo version. It is smart sometimes but can be cheesed with some stuff.

I'm on demo and it's fun.

Thanks for the replies. I tried playing online years ago, and it's just not for me. I'll look for this on sale.

If you just want solo player fighters play dbz kakarot the rest are very thin

Yeah I never play online so have never been bothered by microtransactions. I'm probably in the minority but I play to get away from people 😊 For example I play madden, fifa, and nba 2k, which have crazy amounts of microtransactions. I just ignore them and play the SP modes.

@@dctrbrass or play online and just dont care

Eh games were expensive in the 90s because of the cartridge based games, Nintendo charged developers for cartridges and that set the price for games at like 80 bucks. Cartridge based games are just expensive to produce, that's why cd based games blew up so quickly, they were cheap to make and held more storage dropping the prices of games in the late 90s early 2000s. Bluray disk are more expensive to produce so the prices went back up. But now with more digital games than physical games being sold you'd think they'd lower the price, but they can't because games are bigger now, takes more people to make them, bigger and faster computers to build them. Gaming is expensive. You have to pay these 200 to 800 people working on these games and when they don't sell well we always see lay offs shortly after because they lost money on the game and can't afford to pay 200 to 800 people. Basically if they tried to lower the price of games now, triple a games would just get shorter and less detailed, and we would see a ton of lay offs happen at these companies.

Lmao no

​@cameronpritchett8300 the fact that games cost 80 in the 90s is crazy. Convert that to today's economy and we will be well dam near 200.

Sometimes I feel like the cost of game development has been artificially heightened just to force the devs to implement these unnecessary microtransactions.

@@cameronpritchett8300 It also means they need to sell a lot more copies to break-even if they lower prices.

If I knew I wouldn't have bought the game.

Yea, new characters also being behind paywall like Eddy 💀

Also a tough as nails game to beat even on hard I tried recently got crushed. 😂 As opposed to Tekken 8 on ultra which is relatively easy.

Killer Instinct also did this in 2013.

Why I hate fighting games in general, 60 now 70 for the game plus 150 or more for season passes and shit

@@lamebeast i can understand that

Still ain't gonna buy it. Not even if it was 10 dollars. Fuck Harada and fuck MM. They killed this franchise with t8. The only thing that will save it is if in 10 years t9 is what t8 should've been.

They could sell it for $0 and getting all of the content will still be more expensive than the $70 base price.

I was waiting for sale because it was expensive in the first place while I have other games I already have fun with. Now after announcing this f2p F-tier MMO cash shop and a weak battlepass, I am not even sure if I wanna wait for the sale anymore.

In my opinion it rewards aggressive gameplay but not defensive.

Pffftt.... Yeah right 😂

​@@alainchristienemendoza9982 lol 😆 you liked your own stupid comment 🤣

The game of the gen so far imo. Shocked at the quality.

T8 has been reduced to a coin flip. It probably the worst of the 3 now.
